Sean Combs trial updates: 'Jane' testifies on 'hotel nights' with Combs

Marion "Suge" Knight is speaking out about Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking case.

Knight's name has been mentioned in the Combs trial at least 50 times so far, with some of those references connected to the notorious Combs-Knight rivalry and others simply acknowledging that Knight once led Combs' fierce competitor, Death Row Records. Their names are synonymous with the explosion of hip-hop, and the bad blood between the two moguls, and their record labels.

During hours of conversation with ABC News this weekend, Knight offered his reactions to the trial that has grabbed headlines and offered an often-disturbing portrait of the private life of a pop-culture icon and fashion tastemaker.

Suge Knight said they shouldn't lock Diddy up and throw away the key.

Speaking for himself in a series of phone interviews Saturday, Knight described what he saw as a toxic culture of abuse in some parts of the hip-hop industry that certainly did not start with Combs.

On the phone, Knight said that, if Combs is the only one held accountable for alleged violence and abuse inside the world of rap, it won't break the cycle.

"If you're going to make Puffy answer, make everyone answer," Knight said, referring to those who benefited from a system of trading sexual favors for advancement, or enabled the kind of behavior of which Combs is accused.

"Change the theme of the culture of the problems in hip-hop," Knight said, repeatedly referring to Combs by his earlier street names "Puff" and "Puffy."

"I think it'd be a great thing to let Puffy tell his truth. Tell the real truth, and bring everybody accountable," Knight said. "Puffy didn't just pop in the industry and say 'hey, I want to have sex with everybody,'" Knight said. "I mean, we don't have enough time to name all the names."

The fourth week of testimony at the racketeering and sex trafficking trial of Sean Combs begins Monday with former assistant "Mia" under cross-examination.

"Mia," a pseudonym, told the jury Combs repeatedly sexually assaulted her. She said it "ruined" her, left her "traumatized" and with "complex, severe PTSD."

Combs denies sexually assaulting anyone. On cross-examination, the defense confronted Mia with dozens of her flattering social media posts calling Combs her "mentor," a "legend" and "the coolest alien rock star unicorn pizza slice."

Defense attorney Brian Steel asked her, "One of the legends is the person you're telling this jury has traumatized you?" Combs nodded in approval.

After showing dozens of Mia's Instagram posts the defense prepared to show nearly three dozen more.

"See what you can do to streamline things," Judge Arun Subramanian said.

When Mia steps off the witness stand, the testimony is expected to return to the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, California, where Combs was seen in 2016 surveillance footage attacking then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

Defense attorney Brian Steel's cross-examination of 'Mia' - the former personal assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs will resume Monday.

Last week, 'Mia' testified about the abuse she said she suffered at the hands of the rap mogul now on trial. She returned to the witness stand on Friday to be confronted by defense lawyers seeking to undercut her claims of abuse and rape.

Once Mia's testimony is over, the next witness is expected to be radio and podcast personality Enrique Santos.
